"Beloved, using
all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been
obliged to write to you exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the
faith once delivered to the saints"

Welcome! As my
title indicates, this website is principally concerned with the teaching
of Christianity as set out in the Bible. Articles recently added to the
site can be accessed via the

link. An index of all major articles can be found at
General Index.

The primary purpose of this
venture, however, is to reach out to my brethren in Christ, and to
provide them with an "outline of sound words" (2 Timothy 1: 13) so that
they might "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 3: 18). To this end, I have brought together a
collection of suitable articles - these may be accessed via the column
opposite. Please do not take anything at face value, but search the
Scriptures to see if these things are so (see Acts 17: 11). It may be that
some of the things you read are different from what you have been taught
previously. if so, check the facts out in the Word of God! All I would
ask is that you don't just dismiss things out of hand. The Bereans
received "the word with all readiness of mind" (my
emphasis).

The Bible version used (unless
otherwise indicated) is the 1961 edition of the translation by John Nelson Darby
(1800 - 1882). Abbreviations
are kept to a minimum, but two common ones are 'OT' for Old
Testament and 'NT' for New Testament. It should also be noted that
'Assembly' is generally substituted for 'Church', the former being
closer in meaning to the Greek original.

Nothing on the site is copyright, and you are free to
download articles and to distribute them as you wish. You will also see that no authors are given. My reasons for this are as follows:

It is human nature to test what is written, not
by whether it is in accord with the Bible, but by who wrote it. This
undermines the absolute authority of Scripture.

Many of the articles have been subjected to
considerable editing by myself, and it would not be honest or fair
to attach the names of others to work over which they have no
control.

Above all, there is a Scriptural precedent for
anonymity. the titles of the books in the English Bible are not
inspired, and many of the authors are not known for certain (e.g.
the Gospel of Matthew). Even where we are fairly sure of the
authorship (1 John for example) the writer himself is obscure about
his identity.

In view of the above, I take complete responsibility
for the content of the website.

Please report any grammatical errors, inaccurate
Scripture references, and hyperlink problems etc. Readers are welcome to
send in articles (if non-copyright) to be considered for
inclusion. Original work is especially welcome. Your prayers would also be
much appreciated.
